Did your FR-S come with Michelin or Bridgestone tires?
I was pleasantly surprised when my FR-S came with Bridgestone all-seasons, not the Michelin "Prius" tires I saw on all the other FR-S I've come across. Is this something they're changing going forward? FWIW, it came as a "no charge" on the sticker.

Ive heard about an 'optional summer tire' being the bridgestone. Wish mine came with those instead of these very loud, very hard michelins.

I did see a FR-S here in our dealer that had Bridgestone Turanza EL400 215/45R17, I forgot to take a picture tho' It also said something about it on the window sticker, but like I said, forgot to take a picture.

mine came with the bridgestone all seasons. Kind of glad they did since I switched to aftermarket wheels with summer tires.

Yeah, he's right. I've been seeing some come with the Bridgestones lately. Frankly, I would want the Michelins since that's what the car comes with everywhere else in the world so I hope they'll still offer that choice. Perhaps, they're just doing it in the regions that get snow from now until next spring. But I'd likely switch them out early with Michelin Pilot Super Sports anyway.

I remember reading somewhere on this forum that for people buying the vehicle in "colder climates" the car comes with all seasons. I'm assuming the same if they sell this car during the winter time as well as it would be basically undriveable off the lot.
